In episode 70, Alex and Karly introduce the pod to Jaclyn!

Jaclyn Andersen is a late-diagnosed autistic and ADHD author who uses her work to articulate lived neurodivergent experiences with honesty and clarity. By sharing her own story, she advocates for the broader community and helps others find language for what they’ve lived but never been able to express. Through poetry, writing, and content creation, she brings visibility to the nuances of neurodivergent life. She is also a bodybuilder living with Crohn’s disease and has found a passion in inspiring others through openly sharing her struggles and her journey.

In this episode, Jaclyn shares honestly about her neurodivergent experiences, being an author and special interests!
